The Princess and the Frog

The Princess and the Frog is a 2009 American animated family film loosely based on E. D. Baker's novel The Frog Princess, which was in turn inspired by the Grimm brothers' fairy tale "The Frog Prince". It is the 49th animated feature in the Walt Disney Animated Classics line, and the first of these films to be traditionally (2D) animated since 2004's Home on the Range. The film was directed by John Musker and Ron Clements, directors of The Great Mouse Detective, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Hercules, and Treasure Planet, with songs and score composed by Randy Newman and featuring the voices of Anika Noni Rose (as Princess Tiana), Oprah Winfrey, Keith David, Jim Cummings, John Goodman, Jenifer Lewis, Bruno Campos, Michael-Leon Wooley, Peter Bartlett and Terrence Howard. Princess Tiana is also notable as Disney's first African-American princess.

Avatar 2009

Avatar is a 2009 American science fiction film written and directed by James Cameron, and starring Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver and Stephen Lang. The film is set in the year 2154 on Pandora, a fictional Earth-like moon in a distant planetary system. Humans are engaged in mining Pandora's reserves of a precious mineral, while the Na'vi — the sapient race of humanoids indigenous to the moon — resist the colonists' expansion, which threatens the continued existence of the Na'vi and the Pandoran ecosystem. The film's title refers to the remotely controlled, genetically engineered human-Na'vi bodies used by the film's human characters to interact with the natives.

Dota needs support!

World Cyber Games also known as WCG, The most renowned eSports event in where professional players from different countries participate in several games as a team or an individiual but, unfortunately Warcraft 3, DotA-Allstars is not considered as an official game in this mega championship. DotA has been ignored in the past few years due to improper management and negligence of organizers in WCG. They think that DotA has no potential to be in the official game list but the fans will prove it wrong!

Now it is time to force the WCG organizers to include DotA in WCG 2010, it should be recognized as a competitive strategy based game. Show your support by casting your vote and keeping DotA-Allstars future alive in these kind of events. So, the players can participate and compete on big-stage in this event to show their skills.

Item Changes

- Added a new recipe item (Urn of Shadows)

Each usage of the item decreases the charge by 1.

Each hero death can only charge up one of these items per death, so more than one hero having this will not increase the charges for both of the items.

Heal: 400 HP over 8 seconds

Scroll of Town Portal
- Reworked mechanics

- The casting time system for scroll teleports are now dynamic.
Whenever a hero teleports to an area, it causes any other teleports to that area to be delayed with extra time based on the number of heroes that teleported or are teleporting there. Each teleport leaves has memory lasts about 20 seconds for that location.

This does not affect teleports to the fountain area (it accounts for rough areas around shop area as well).

Example: First hero teleports to his tower, he takes the usual 3 seconds casting time. Then lets say the 3 other heroes teleport right after. The second one that telports after the original has a 5 second teleport time. Then 6 seconds, 7, etc.

- Teleport location effect no longer lies to the enemies about the landing spot

- Enemies now see the colors of the teleporting heroes

- Increases max range on where you can choose teleport near a building from 350 to 525

- The color of the teleport effect changes if you are in delayed teleport mode. It goes to normal once you have the standard 3 seconds left. So both sides can tell if its a quick or a delayed teleport and time things accoringly.

Garena maphack v3.1

GarenaHack-er has released a Garena Universal Maphack 3.1 which does not modify any Garena files nor it requires any Garena Hack/Crack. This Garena Universal maphack supports Warcraft v1.24c Patch and previous versions. It is currently undetectable in Garena.

Get QB on Kunkka

Dota 6.64 Bug & Exploit - Normally, Kunkka - Admiral Proudmoore is not allowed to have Quelling Blade item which increases your damage against non-hero units. But, you can actually get Quelling Blade on Kunkka by performing a simple trick/bug. Kuarinofu has posted a video of it on YouTube, watch it below and just follow the simple in DotA steps to get quellingblade working on Kunkka :)



Surprisingly, it works with Kunkka's Tidebringer means, you can do 35% extra damage. This bug is quite abuse able but IceFrog may release Dota 6.64b for it's fix. Pudge/Vengeful Spirit may also acquire Kelen's Dagger through this trick.

Dota 6.64 Bug Abuse

Dota 6.64 - Obsidian Destroyer infinite bottle rune abuse. You can abuse Bottle Rune and it's charges using Obsidian Destroyer's second skill, Astral Imprisonment. You can get infinite bottle charges, but you need to be perfect with timings. Check the video below:

Invoker Guide

The Invoker




Items

Vanguard, Orchid Malevolence, Monkey King Bar, Satanic, Stygian Desolator, Manta Style, Butterfly, Eye of Skadi, Power Treads, Phase Boots, Black King Bar, Hood of Defiance, Mask of Madness, Cranium Basher, Linken’s Sphere, Radiance, Buriza du-Kyanon, Assault Cuirass, Aghanim’s Scepter.


Tactics


Everything in the Push and Kill sections.


Removing lane opponents:


If you are carrying with Invoker it helps magnificently to start in mid lane. Sure, you lose access to the side shops and therefore easy construction of an Orchid, but the fog of war in mid lane more than makes up for it. By the time early game starts fading out it should be nighttime. Thus when you want to chase your enemy out of the lane all you need to do is pull the creep line back such that you are at the top of the ramp, where your enemy can’t see you. Unless they refuse to farm and deny then they will have to come into the river. Once they are in position, you can start harassing them with your potent spells.

In an Exort build I cast Chaos Meteor or Alacrity. Alacrity if they have shown themselves to be slow to react when I attack them, Chaos Meteor if they tend to run. If they are being cautious and don't give you any opportunities to get close, hit them with a Sunstrike the next time they go in for a last hit.

Wex builds have a fantastic way to send enemies back: EMP. Should this be insufficient you can also try Alacrity or Tornado, though Alacrity tends to be more efficient with its low manacost and cooldown.

With a Quas build I use Cold Snap or Ice Wall. Cold Snap will do a lot of damage if you can trick them to attack you first (and thereby attract fire from your creeps). If the other player is reluctant to engage you then Ice Wall can provide you with a good few seconds to hit them freely. Said reluctant player will be unlikely to suddenly become aggressive, and their response to the appearance of the wall will be to run away.

The hybrid builds are situation dependent. Just use some spell I mentioned in the above sections. It will likely be obvious which spell will be most effective. If not then just swap between the potential spells to stay unpredictable.


Builds


1) QW
2) QE
3) Note for the Wex builds
4) WQ
5) WE
6) EQ
7) EW



Role Considerations


Support: You will not have Alacrity or Forge Spirits until late game, so you will need to rely on items to provide buffs. I recommend the healing items: Mekansm, Urn of Shadows, and Bloodstone.

Disable: A natural build for a Disable Invoker. You already have many disables through your skills, so it might be prudent to use item slots on survivability items, or maybe Aghanim’s. Something like a Blink Dagger or Force Staff would not be untowards as well, since they both increase your ability to chase/initiate.

Push: Your pushes will be slow until you get to higher levels of Tornado, so you will need to build up large waves of allied creeps with Deafening Blast. Consider getting a Mekansm or early Assault Cuirass to aid in this.

Kill: You will need damage items. You don’t do enough by yourself. Go get a Desolator or Radiance so you aren’t useless (don’t forget Radiance is good for Cold Snap and Ghost Walk).

Carry: You can actually become a reasonably solid tank carry if you get the right items. A setup like Heart of Tarrasque, Power Treads, Eye of Skadi, and Manta Style can yield quite a lot of EHP, and help you take advantage of your high regen and disables. Radiance and Mjollnir are also solid item choices to improve your DPS.

A step-by-step guide

Step 1: Skill Build
1. Overpower
2. Fury Swipes
3. Fury Swipes
4. Overpower
5. Fury Swipes
6. Enrage
7. Fury Swipes

After which Overpower is maxed first,
followed by Earthshock.
Enrage is taken whenever possible, at 11 and 16.


Fury swipes is needed early to take out Roshan.
Earthshock is delayed as 25% slow at level 1 is too ineffective due to Ursa's slow casting animation. Rely on teammates for disables/slows if you are ganking during early levels.



Step 2a: Laning (As Scourge)
Start off with the following items:
Set 1:

Set 2:


If you are going for Set 2, you will be lacking Hp Regen items. Borrow from lanemate or get a RoR from sideshop asap. 100% block is useful against harassment. If you are unsure of how aggresive your lane might be and its harassment type (Magic vs Physical), go for Set 1.
Note: Do not buy quelling blade. It has no effect for Ursa once he learns Fury Swipe.

* Head off to top lane for easier access to jungle. Stick to lane to farm last hits
* Pull neutrals creeps whenever possible (if ally isn't doing it)
* Get a RoR from sideshop for hp regen once you have 350 gold
* Lvl1 Overpower + Lvl 1 Fury Swipe does decent harass dmg. Works well when paired with an ally with a disable/slow



Step 2b: Jungling (As Scourge)
Somewhere in between 5-7 mins, you will reach level 5-6 or so. With Enrage, it makes jungling easier since Fury swipes does double the bonus damage now. To take off higher level creeps,

* cast Overpower, wait till it has cooldown (10secs)
* unleash all your attacks during the remaining 5secs of Overpower, with Enrage on
* Immediately recast Overpower once the bonus attacks are gone
* Keep in mind this Double Overpower tactic



Step 3: Roshan + getting your Blink Dagger
Usually, within 10-12 minutes all components for a Vladmir's Offering can be bought.
You should be approximately level 7 by now.

* Head off to the Ancient Creeps camp for easy money first. Clear them with Double Overpower tactic
* Again with Double Overpower, take out Roshan. You should be near full health when he is dead.
* Head back to Ancient Creeps to clear them again. They should have respawned by now. By now, you should be around Level 9


Farming for Blink Dagger

* Ancient Creeps are great money source so try to stick to laning the bottom lane for last hits. Alternate between the two. If lane pushed too far, go ancient creeping.
* Alternatively, jungle in Sentinel's forest if you know it is safe and go ancient creeping in between.
* Aside from Dagger, you need some gold for a pair of boots too of course



Step 4: Assasination Time


With these items, and at least a level in Earthshock, the time is ripe to pick off lone targets. Remember the to utilize Double Overpower.

Look out for these heroes for a sure kill:
- No Invis ability (unless you have dust/gem/sentry)
- No Stun (likely to escape)
- No Blink or similar abilities eg Surge, Storm's Ball, Lycan's Wolf form.

Note: Dagger has a max range of 1200. However, if you target a location beyond 1200 range, you will only blink for 960 range. It takes practice and good estimation to achieve the maximum.


Damage Approximation

* Fury Swipes damage from 6x attacks (Lvl 4 Overpower) ~ 1000dmg
* Fury Swipes damage from 12x attacks (Double Overpower Tactic) ~ 4000dmg

The said damage are appromixate values from Fury Swipes alone, without bonus damage from Enrage and your base attack. Fury Swipes forms the bulk of the dmg done. As a rule of the thumb, ALL casters die from one Overpower. Certain Strength heroes requires about one-and-a-half Overpower to be killed.
Note: Fury swipes deals double damage (50dmg) when Enrage is active



Step 5: Items Dilemma
Problem 1: By now you will realise that HP isn't an issue but Mana seems to always be giving problems. You cannot sustain going on killing heroes one after the other. You have to come back to the fountain often.

A few solutions:

Having CM on your team is a huge asset for Ursa. Not only does it solves your mana issues, she makes a great lane partner as well.

Linken's is the next best item of choice. It works well in most inhouse and casual pub games. Start by getting a Void stone first to fix your mana problems. Spell block will come in handy versus heroes with a single disable, eg SK, DK, Lina etc. More often than not, the spell block will trigger itself from some random spell in a major teamfight, but it will prove useful especially during the post-battle chases where it is mostly 1v1 or 1v2.


The other alternative is to go Bloodstone. It is not the best item there is but it gives you infinite mana for Earthshocks, Blinks and Overpower. Note that Bloodstone no longer gives bonus HP regen. Aside from Mana, the extra 450HP helps. Start off by buying a Energy Booster for a quick +250 mana boost.
Note:I prefer Linken's in general. Bloodstone is fine if you want an infinite supply of mana but it doesn't grant you any form of spell block/immunity against disables.


Problem 2: You can't seem to be getting killls because there are too many stunners in the opposing team and/or they seem to cluster together. Never a chance to pick off lone targets.

A few solutions:

Have Omniknight to repel you. Again, you hardly see one in a pubgame. If you have a friend, it is worth to try out this combo.

Do plan ahead if you are making Linken's or BKB. Choose one, both is a waste. Note however if you have a Omni for repel, getting Linken's is still a viable choice since Linken's will spell block a purge (from Diffusal) before Repel. Therefore, it will require 2 successive purges from opponent to dispel Repel completey.

Focus on farming for a BKB. It will help you immensely. Note that BKB will dispel your Overpower (so no Double Overpower). Once you Blink + BKB + Stomp in, you need to cast Overpower. This will cost you 0.5secs of casting time.

Still no BKB yet?
Wait for an ally to initiate. If he can soak in the stun for you, you can blink in without being disabled to finish him off. During major teamfights, do the same by hanging around at the back and wait for opponents to release their stuns. Do not blink in into the main fray however, pick off those casters at the far back first. The key is to eliminate all the soft casters with disables and slows. Engage another target only if you have Overpower + Enrage on. Earthshock is spammable as well, provided you have ample mana. Otherwise wait for your Dagger to cooldown for the next opportunity to kill.



Step 6: Roshan every 10 minutes
Take note of the timing you last killed Roshan. He spawns every 10mins after death. You get Cheese + Aegis from the 3rd kill onwards (30mins+)

Tactical usage of Aegis and Cheese:
- Ursa should get the Aegis, pass the Cheese to your next best Carry.
- Upon having an Aegis, you might want to organize a team push since Aegis (and Cheese) raises the chances of a successful push.
- If you die while holding Aegis and 5 enemy heroes are camping beside you, immediately Blink away when you revive. You shouldn't recklessly die this way in the first place, but it does happen once in a while.
(A crude way is to spam blink hotkey and click on a safe spot)


Step 7: Too much cash

Unfortunately, Ursa isn't the kind of hero which does good with Damage items. He can't use orbs, bashes (conflicts with fury swipe) as well as critical items (conflicts as well). I won't go into details here as to why. The surest way to increase his DPS is by getting Heart to amplify his Enrage.

With all the extra HP he has, fit in a Blademail. Blademail does pure damage. What you deal is what you get. If you lose 1000hp, so does your enemy.
In fact, if you already have Bloodstone, your HP should be sufficiently high (~2000HP) to make use of Blademail. Therefore skip Heart for Blademail first.
Usage: Activate the moment you blink+stomp in. Or when focused, whichever comes first.

Also, get Boots of travels. Alternatively, Phase boots.



Step 8: Watch out for counters
Some Specific Counters against Ursa

* Blademail is great and all, but often it is the item that will be used to counter you. So watch out for those spikes after you Blink + Stomp into the crowd. Don't target them.
* Purge from Diffusal kills your Overpower and slows you to a crawl.
* Disables that passes through BKB. Bane (Atropos) is one hell of a nuisance for Ursa especially during early game. He will sleep you often. And his Ultimate passes through BKB, so watch out.
* Mega-slowers like Viper and Lanaya can be as irritating as disablers/stunners




Conclusion
This step-by-step guide, in my opinion, is the best way to introduce someone who is new to Ursa to get intimate with him. It is pretty much a idiot-proof guide by which you follow it and definitely get at least 10 kills with a positive K-D ratio.

To further improve on playing Ursa however, requires a much deeper understanding of the hero and this is where the player himself have to learn and discover at his/her own pace. That said, this guide is meant to serve as a stepping stone for you to master Ursa.

As far as item argument goes, I'm against listing all the viable/recommended/non-recommended items since it doesn't help in making the guide any clearer since most item choices are situational. What I listed are those which works 90% of the time, bearing in mind such games played are either Pubgames or Casual Inhouses.
